Answer 1

One possible version:
By reading more books or by traveling more? The topic has aroused many people’s attention .Different people have different opinions on how to get acquainted with the world we live in more efficiently .
Many people hold the view that reading is more meaningful than traveling .Through reading ,we can learn a lot about history , cultures and customs , gain much new knowledge that will be useful for our life and work .Some other people , however , believe that traveling enlightens human beings more directly .As the saying goes, travelling a lot is much better than reading thousands of books. It helps expand our horizons and makes us see the world by our own eyes to get the first hand understanding .Besides , it’s more relaxing .
As for me, the former view makes more sense .Although travelling is a good way to know one’s country and the world , it takes more time and costs more than average people can afford .Whereas , reading is obviously easier to do , books can bring us anywhere we want .

試題分析：本篇書面表達是要求就Reading more or Traveling more寫一篇英語演講稿。因為是演講稿，所以文章要用第一人稱，這樣更具有親和力和說服力；其次，因為是陳述事實和自己的看法所以文章用一般現(xiàn)在時態(tài)；再次，寫作時注意不要遺漏要點，但是不能根據(jù)材料逐字翻譯，應(yīng)該注意細節(jié)上的補充以及句式的變化和文章結(jié)構(gòu)上的銜接，以提高作文的檔次。
【亮點說明】文章結(jié)構(gòu)緊湊，要點全面。開門見山直入話題，這樣使文章簡潔明了，更能引發(fā)讀者興趣。文中出現(xiàn)的高級詞匯，比如：acquainted , efficiently, enlightens ,expand our horizons,whereas等，和多種復合句以及諺語“As the saying goes, travelling a lot is much better than reading thousands of books.”的使用都顯示出了作者深厚的英語功底，而且也使得文章非常出彩。文中出現(xiàn)的復合句有：同位語從句Many people hold the view that reading is more meaningful than traveling ，定語從句much new knowledge that will be useful for our life and work，賓語從句Some other people , however , believe that traveling enlightens human beings more directly ，讓步狀語從句Although travelling is a good way to know one’s country and the world , it takes more time and costs more than average people can afford 等。
